Roaming Around On That One Familiar Road and Remembering My Troubled but Exciting College Life

I remember this particular road, this is the path to the house of my college friend, Ry. And I used to take this road a lot to hang out at their house. I always stop by because I want to go with her to the university and together. I purposely went there, hours before the class started. I will bring my laptop with me, and we'll watch a movie or take care of something. I also used to put eyeliner on Ry, I'm really good with eyeliner before. But it's been a long time, so I'm not sure if I am still good with it.

Seeing the familiar houses and shops in here brings back a lot of good memories. Nothing really changed much, it's still the same as to what I remember back then, it's been 8 years now. It's still peaceful, quiet, and beautiful here. It would be amazing if I can take this path again together with Ry and Cel. Too bad, i'm not ready yet to do that with them ( ꈍᴗꈍ).

I remember seeing those plants, flowers, and trees in front of every house before and am glad to see that they are still there. I'm sure there's already more added in here.

I actually already miss my college friends, Ry and Cel. But I hate that I always say no to their invitation. Especially Cel, she invited me a lot of times, but I always refused. I don't know why I am too shy to face them now, like we are not friends for more than years now.

And like, we didn't drink water in one glass. This has always been the problem with me since graduating from college. I turn into a shy with low esteem btch (ꈍᴗꈍ). I regret it whenever they invite me and I have to refuse.

And you know what? Even though I know Ry's house, I couldn't force myself to visit their home that day. I'm kind of close with her mother and I still greet her Mom whenever I saw her on the road, but that's not enough reason to just barge in their house That's what I thought when I went to this area with Mama. We're really just a few steps away to get to Ry's house, but in the end, I turn my back and continue walking (ꈍᴗꈍ).

By the way, here's another shortcut route to go to different places, including our home. But we didn't take that because we still have somewhere to go.

And that's Mama walking, already far away from me, leaving me here behind. Lol. We're nearing the exit, to where the main road is. We'll have to cross the road to get to the other side. ┏(^0^)┛

And if we move further, Bansud Gym is just around the corner, and beside it is a former university, which is PUP Bansud Branch. Back then, I'm actually jealous of Ry because her house is really just close to our UNI. It is also just a walking distance from home, but I have to walk a lot more. And that's the reason why I'm fit. I had to walk because Mom only gave me money for my snacks and lunch, but nothing for a fare.

So, we also took this path because we have to go somewhere. Mama actually wants to take another route, but I told her that we'll reach our destination faster if we take this route. It's just a shortcut. Mama wants to take the other route because it's close to Bansud Plaza. But I'm already tired of walking, so I insist that we take this road, lol.

Years have long past, so it's just normal to see some changes here. The computer shop is gone, they moved somewhere. The empty lot here now has those concrete buildings, and they had tenants too. I remember there's a cafe here, and they even have performers that sing live. But that was during the fiesta last January. They are close now, though.

And on this part, the food stalls are more organized now, here. The stalls have just one design, and people who want to do business here can rent some space. It's just so amazing seeing how great the changes are in this place.

Anyways, I had a good time walking around here, especially that route to where my classmates house are. I hope I get to have a mini reunion with them soon. Ry is now pregnant, so she's kinda busy. As for Cel, well, she's also busy with life. And me? Hmmm, I'm also busy, busy living (ꈍᴗꈍ).

A cool walk bringing back memories, I too have a tendency to be shy maybe one day you will break out of it and walk with Ry and Cel

Thanks for joining the Wednesday walk

Yeah, maybe if I had the chance to walk in here again, I might already gather some courage to face them. 😆

What a nice tour, it seems that people don't like to go out, hahaha

Hahaha, you can't see a lot of people here. Its quite which is nice though, for me, lololol

What a nice tour, the place looks quiet and perfect for a relaxing walk, the houses have beautiful and varied designs.
